Has the Prime Minister received any legal advice over the definition of genocide? A letter from the Independent Alliance, following Keir Starmer's refusal to recognise the genocide in Gaza.

@DuffWalter @EddyCanforDumas @MichaelLCrick @fifisyms Other people on here say she was an accounts manager🤨

@EddyCanforDumas @MichaelLCrick @fifisyms She was an analyst at BoE. Japan desk.

These alleged false CV claims by Rachel Reeves are serious. Unless she can produce a good explanation, she should resign as Chancellor & MP - or be sacked. I know that won't happen, but brushing the allegations aside will only encourage others to make false claims.

@UniteEconomy @theSNP My advice to people would be to find another union that does support people in Scotland and the Scottish Government. Here’s @UniteEconomy expecting ScotGov to mitigate Labour policy…meanwhile Labour has cut Scotland’s budget.

It’s all well and good sniping from the sidelines, the real question is what are the @theSNP going to do to reverse the cut to #winterfuelallowance for its pensioners? Will they follow Stormont’s lead? Join the campaign here and get involved. actionnetwork.org/forms/join-the…

@Adi13 @FranceskAlbs I’d like you to comment on the atrocities that happened before October 7th…which most of the world was unaware of…and the atrocities since…which we are all now aware of. The atrocities which include breaking international humanitarian law. There is no war. This is genocide.

@FranceskAlbs Did you comment on October 7th 2023, the atrocities of Hamas? Of course not.

Likely raped to death. A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics. Likely raped to death. The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, add inheritance to family farms, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, spaff £22bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, pledge a 20% cut in meat & dairy and get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are engaging in genocide denialism by refusing to recognise the genocide in Gaza, and genocide revisionism by undermining its legal definition. Great to talk with @BrawnJourno and be featured on the front page of @ScotNational to discuss this.

Never forget…

NHS England deliberately lying about longer A&E waits to conceal massive crisis, FIVE times greater, and prevent comparison with Scotland, missed by Sky News talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/11/16/nhs…

Some people seem to think Charles has earned these medals and ranks because he spent a brief spell in the armed forces fifty years ago. So let's look at what he's wearing and why it's completely inappropriate or dishonest. 🧵

@MaryCuthbe41916 @AlexNeilSNP You don’t seem to know the difference between an opinion and a fact.

@fishface60 @AlexNeilSNP Do you have any synapses left?

That’s rubbish. It was changed for one reason only. To stop Joanna Cherry becoming an MSP.

@MaryCuthbe41916 @AlexNeilSNP How is it a fact? Honestly…get a grip🤨

@fishface60 @AlexNeilSNP I agree with Mr Neil in this case. I think for myself in the vast majority of cases. This isn't a question of belief - it's a fact

Gaza. This isn’t war. This is genocide. Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

Your occasional reminder that the 26 CofE Bishops in the House of Lords make the UK one of just two countries in the world, where unelected clerics automatically sit in the legislature. The other is Iran.

@BBCScotlandNews But in Scotland unemployment is DOWN @BBCScotlandNews is pretty rubbish at giving us the Scottish news 🤨🙄🫤

Unemployment rises as pay growth slows again bbc.in/3O6EeZY

Good to see Glaswegians explain why it's time for Scotland to be a normal, sovereign and independent country. But to make it a reality, sitting back and hoping it'll just happen is for the birds. It needs an Independence campaign with a date or support will drain away @theSNP

The Israeli media are saying it. Why can't ours do the same?

@deelomas Deluded 👆

I quite like the fact that there is neither a narcissistic fucking clown, a limp lettuce or a ‘I had working class friends (well, not working class obviously) in Downing Street pretending to care about the UK. I like the boring bloke who’s quietly getting on with doing the job… He’s not perfect…but he is better than any of the self serving twats we’ve suffered under during the last 14 years…

@RoryStewartUK I can’t think of one reason why @RoryStewartUK would tweet this in support of the Archbishop of Canterbury today. It beggars belief that in the circumstances he mentions humility, openness, care and sense of public service. Disgraceful.

Very sorry to hear of the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury - I have worked with him for a long time and have always been struck by his humility, openness, care and sense of public service.
